This talk will show the audience how to build a simple WPF interface with a dynamic data source. We will add animation and sound features to show how WPF can approach the versatility of custom C++/DirectX applications. Last, Marc will show the audience a dynamic, multi-threading stock market example that features C# and .NET interacting with XAML.

Considerable demand comes from medical companies, hedge funds and customer-facing applications that require more than web technologies. This talk, then, will give you a foothold into this challenging but compelling and in-demand technology!
